Katherine Cervantes, 33, was charged with two counts of sexual misconduct with a minor last year.

On Tuesday, she learned how long she'll spend in jail.

Cervantes was given a five-year prison sentence, but the case never went to trial because she reached a deal with prosecutors last month.

An emotional Cervantes was led away from a Clark County courtroom in handcuffs.

"Ultimately, what it came down to is that the victim's mother did not want to let her son testify," said deputy prosecutor Jake Elder. "So we offered a reduced sentence to a blind plea and they accepted it."

The case stemmed from an incident at Cervantes' Sellersburg home in October 2011.

Prosecutors said Cervantes was drinking with a group of teens, including her daughter and her daughter's 14-year-old ex-boyfriend.

Cervantes was accused of giving the boy alcohol and marijuana and having sex with him.

"Since then, he's been removed from school, (and is) having a hard time with life. He's in counseling. It's been a tough road for him," said Elder.

A deal reached last month allowed Cervantes to plead guilty to sexual misconduct with a minor and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

During her sentencing, Cervantes apologized for what she did.

"There's no reason for an adult to provide alcohol and marijuana to a minor and then engage in sexual activity thereafter," said Elder.

A judge sentenced Cervantes to five years in prison out of a possible eight, a punishment considered fair by the prosecutor and young boy's family.

"Absolutely. I feel they will be satisfied with the outcome of the case," said Elder.

An attorney for Cervantes didn't want to speak on camera after the hearing, but said he thinks the sentence is too harsh.

Cervantes could be allowed to serve in a work-release program during the last six months of her sentence.
